Block injections, also known as nerve blocks, are a type of pain management procedure used to alleviate pain by interrupting the nerve signals responsible for transmitting pain sensations.
A Block injections involve the injection of local anaesthetics, corticosteroids, or other medications into or around specific nerves or groups of nerves. The goal is to block the transmission of pain signals, providing temporary or long-lasting relief from pain.
Block injections can provide immediate pain relief and are often used as a diagnostic tool to identify the source of pain. They can also be part of a comprehensive pain management plan that may include physical therapy and medications.
By directly targeting the source of pain, block injections can provide significant relief where other treatments may have failed.
Block injections are performed using a thin needle and do not require incisions, making them less invasive than surgical options.
Most patients can resume normal activities shortly after the procedure, with minimal downtime.
Block injections can help reduce the reliance on oral pain medications, which may have undesirable side effects.
In addition to providing relief, block injections can help pinpoint the source of pain, guiding further treatment decisions.
Although rare, infections can occur at the injection site or within the surrounding tissues.
In rare cases, the needle may inadvertently damage surrounding nerves or tissues, leading to numbness or weakness.
Some bleeding may occur at the injection site, particularly in patients taking blood-thinning medications.
At TAH Global Healthcare, we take every precaution to minimise these risks by employing the latest surgical techniques and providing personalised care for each patient.
Injections that target specific nerves to interrupt pain signals. Common examples include Cervical Nerve Blocks, Lumbar Nerve Blocks, and Brachial Plexus Blocks.
These injections are administered directly into the facet joints in the spine to relieve pain caused by arthritis or inflammation in these joints.
While primarily used to treat inflammation and pain in the epidural space, these injections can also block nerve signals in the lower back and legs.
Target specific muscle knots (trigger points) to relieve localised pain and muscle tension.
Patients receive detailed aftercare instructions, which may include recommendations for activity levels, pain management, and when to resume normal activities.
Some patients may experience increased pain or discomfort immediately following the injection. This is usually temporary and resolves within a few days. Over-the-counter pain medications can help manage discomfort.
Patients should be aware of potential side effects of the injection, such as localized soreness, bruising at the injection site, or temporary increases in pain. Serious side effects, such as signs of infection (fever, increased swelling, or redness), should be reported to the healthcare provider immediately.
A follow-up visit may be scheduled to monitor the patient’s response to the injection and discuss any further treatment options if needed.
After receiving block injections, maintaining long-term spinal health is essential. Regular follow-up appointments with a spine specialist allow monitoring of progress, assessment of injection effectiveness, and adjustments to the treatment plan as needed. Physical therapy can also be beneficial, helping to strengthen the muscles supporting the spine and improving overall function with specific, recommended exercises.
In addition, adopting healthy lifestyle choices plays a key role in maintaining spinal health. A balanced diet, regular low-impact exercise, and practising good posture help support spinal well-being.
